After September 11: Biblical and Ethical Reflections on the Current Crisis  
After September 11
Biblical and Ethical Reflections on the Current Crisis
Start:  Monday, November 12, 2001
End:  Monday, November 12, 2001
Location:   Jefferson Hotel
1200 16th Street, NW
Washington, DC

The events of September 11 created much debate regarding proper Christian responses to this serious conflict. Many have promoted the Christian understanding of just war theory. Others have urged us to reconsider the Christian pacifist tradition. Many people, both believers and non-believers, have been starkly reminded of the presence of evil in the world. This event seeks to find clarity to the questions swirling in the maelstrom of the post-9/11 moment: What has the Christian tradition taught us regarding these sober issues? How should we apply those traditions today? And what are our duties as followers of Christ to the civil magistrate--to "Caesar?"
